    Hmmm...spent a chunk of my lunch break today looking at Open University degrees. I need to find out how to fund it, but if it can be done via monthly payments I might be able to start in January.

    I'm torn between something that might be useful if we move to the country to live The Good Life and a degree in criminology. It's nigh on impossible to get a steady job in the Highlands anyway so should I just do what I would find interesting?

    Aha! £150 offer is back on Quidco for some reason so I have switched (And taken a screengrab showing the price!)
  • Absolutely do what you find interesting otherwise you might not have the impetus to stick to it. Good luck!

    ILA can be used for OU courses...
  • My very own mention :beer: Honoured!
    Rubbish about the cashback being reduced though :(

  • I obviously didn't read the whole thread, rookie!

    Yeah for the cashback being raised again!x

    Having sworn not to fritter, I'm on my way to the pub :D In my defence, an American friend goes back home tomorrow so its a farewell that can't be stalled :(

    Will reply to your PM when I get home.

    Socialising with important friends isn't frittering ;)

    However telling you that S&G stuff is available on ASOS could be an incitement to fritter... Sorry! :D
